Thanks, AI slop.

Would it help if I slammed it EXTRA-HARD, my lil’ cutey…?

Some interesting faces in the crowd. On the right, a very young Ben Stiller relative. Behind him, an elderly Forrest Gump who’s decided to do one last coast-to-coast run. :P

There’s even a sort of Jack Nicklaus / Arnold Palmer-looking guy to the left. All bases covered!

Looks like this is just another bot / AI acct. Guess I’ll report it after yesterday’s mess. I really hope this doesn’t turn in to a constant problem, going forward…

Anyway, as long as we’re here, how do you like to search YT? A year or two ago I was surprised to learn that I could search Google videos and find stuff on YT that didn’t actually appear in YT searches. Some real irony, there.

Sounds good; thanks for sharing!

Over here, I’ve been enjoying Vietnamese spring roll wrappers (not fried) to make my rolls, these days. I think maybe I’ll try quinoa as a base next time, in place of my beloved SCO (steel-cut oats).

Do you know if she tended to do more of the Euro-Disney or American-Disney stuff?

Is that quinoa being substituted for rice? If so, that sounds pretty interesting, especially because I stay far away from rice, nowadays.

Ah, I didn’t know that about greek yogurt, which I eat a good amount of.

Seaweed is the iodine source I usually think of.

There’s a legendary blog post about this:

Also a rare chance to plug my community, which has posted a fair share of Asterix and other BD goodies: https://piefed.social/c/eurographicnovels

EDIT: As a matter of fact, I’ll be posting the first three pages of Asterix’ new Lusitania adventure in a few minutes… EDIT2: Done! :D

Just keep in mind that uncooked it’s goitrogenic, which in enough quantity can disrupt your thyroid function, especially as you age.

Getting enough iodine in your diet can offset that.

Okay!
But… I mean, Sven-- we can try to get after this stuff specifically, but please try to understand that in terms of research studies, I’m a complete idiot.

Oh, for sure. The US diet is horrible IME. Loads of sugar, salt, fried / hydrogenated oils in ultra-processed food. Absolutely crazy.

Meanwhile, the problem with white rice is not that it has simple carbs, but that it’s little more than just starch, which has a fast, deleterious effect on blood glycemic levels. So for the cultures that eat white with almost every meal, it can be a real problem.

Funny, it was several East Asians who brought it to my attention in the first place. They were bemoaning how so many of their older relatives had developed diabetes II, and strongly suspected white rice as a key culprit.

If your only option is to eat white rice (and you don’t have something healthier, like hot oatmeal or other cheap grains & legumes), then sure.

You’re cool with me.

I consider those foods the actual pre-diabetic junk food.

They’re even worse than that, really, since they’re not just pre-diabetic, but tend to be cancer-causing, arteriosclerosis-prone, and BP elevators, etc, as well. But just because white rice isn’t quite as disastrous as those other things is still no recommendation to actually eat the stuff regularly.

If I was asked, I’d recommend having it as an occasional treat, just like all other junk food. No extremism here.

Congee is cheap to make, dense, and nutritious.

Agree with the first two, but very much not the third. Standard white rice is essentially pre-diabetic junk food, with most of its nutrients and fibre stripped out.

Simple hot oatmeal would be a decent substitute, with ~8x as much fibre, ~3x as much protein, lower glycemic impact, and a modest but positive cholesterol impact.

Derrr… *h’yuck*!

Nice to meet you.

Also just a note that there *is* no single “Illuminati.” In fact, dozens of groups across history have used that name at times for their own purposes.

Still, if one of them really is a modern, powerful, global organisation, well… they sure seem to be either tightly aligned with late-stage capitalism, or else getting their arses kicked by such.
